2 Slk I. et l.: Croti rtery Doppler ultrsoun Bkgroun Severl riologi stuies re use to evlute the ptient with renl isese. Ultrsonogrphy with Doppler molity is one of the most frequently use tehnique to ssess renl struture n systemi riovsulr iseses in the ignosis n mngement of renl onitions suh s hroni kiney isese (CKD) n polyysti renl normlities. CKD hs een known s n inepenent risk ftor for riovsulr isese, inluing stroke [1,2]. In ition, ptients with CKD often hve numerous tritionl n nontritionl risk ftors for the evelopment of riovsulr isese. Criovsulr iseses re mjor use of moriity n mortlity in ptients with en-stge renl isese (ESRD) [3,4]. Tritionl risk ftors pper to e ssoite with muh lrger solute inreses in risk in the erlier stges of CKD [5]. Hemoilysis () n peritonel ilysis () re ilysis options for ptients with en-stge renl isese (ESRD) in whom preemptive kiney trnsplnttion is not possile [6]. As ontriutors hving potentil to use riovsulr isese, nontritionl risk ftors, inluing perhps hemoilysis proeure itself n the uremi milieu, my e ontriutory [7]. Polyysti kiney isese inlues inherite iseses hrterize y yst formtion n enlrgement in the kiney, eresing kiney funtion irreversile. PKD my hve utosoml ominnt or reessive trit. The utosoml ominnt PKD () is the most ommon geneti vrint of CKD [8,9], t its finl stge, requiring renl replement ommonly [8]. Croti intim-mei thikness (IMT) is known s relile mrker of theroslerosis n preitor of ererovsulr n riovsulr events [1 15]. There is ongoing reserh to ssess the vlue of roti IMT n roti pulstility n resistive inies in ptients with hroni kiney isese [16,17]. There re limite ville stuy investigting the vlue of roti IMT n Doppler inies in the sme linil settings in the,, n ptients [17]. In this stuy, we investigte the hnges in the vlues of roti IMT n Doppler inex mesurements in the, n ptients. Mteril n Methos Written informe onsent ws otine from eh sujet, n the stuy protool ws pprove y the Humn Ethis Committee of our university. In this se-ontrol setting, 2 outptients on (8 femle, 12 mle; men ge 46.1±16.4), 27 outptients on (2 femle, 7 mle; men ge 45±12.4), n 26 normotensive outptients with (11 femle, 15 mle; men ge 52.4±16.7) s the se groups n 21 helthy sujets (11 femle, 1 mle; men ge 48.4±7.2), s the ontrol group, were reruite.

In ESRD ptients, riovsulr isese is the mjor use of eth, n the iniene of theroslerosis-relte omplitions is signifintly higher if ilysis require. The serious use of moriity n mortlity is therosleroti vsulr mge in ESRD ptients [17,19].

6 Slk I. et l.: Croti rtery Doppler ultrsoun n ssoition etween the egrees of roti theroslerosis n CKD. In our stuy, we evlute roti theroslerosis in ptients with CKD requiring hemoilysis n ontinuous multory peritonel ilysis. Krmn et l. [17] investigte tht the reltionship etween roti IMT n PI or RI vlues in hemoilysis ptients. They foun tht the roti IMT of hemoilysis ptients were inrese ut PI n RI erese in hemoilysis ptients; however, they etermine wek ut negtive orreltion etween only right IMT n right PI. They onlue tht PI RI vlues lower thn expete in hemoilysis ptients. They suggeste tht peripherl vsoilttion relte to nemi might e the use of those lower vlues. Aoring to our knowlege there is no other stuy investigting roti IMT n Doppler inies in the n ptients. Cheung et l. [7] hve onute stuy etermining the prevlene n severity of therosleroti riovsulr iseses in representtive hroni hemoilysis popultion. In their stuy, they hve ssesse the reltionship etween severl tritionl riovsulr isese risk ftors n the presene or history of riovsulr events in 936 hemoilysis ptients. They hve onlue tht there ws high prevlene of therosleroti riovsulr iseses in the hroni hemoilysis ptients n tht severl of the tritionl oronry risk ftors in the generl popultion ppere to e pplile to the hemoilysis popultion. Hell et l. [4] hve evlute the effets of n on the riovsulr risk. They foun the mrke teneny of ptients with impire renl funtion for eveloping riovsulr iseses, irrespetively of the type of ilysis. They suggeste tht the inlusion of uremi-relte risk ftors in the pnel for evlution of riovsulr risk in ilysis ptients ws require. Nkym et l. [23] hve evlute whether the roti rtery lifition t the initition of hemoilysis ws risk ftor for riovsulr events in 133 ptients with en-stge renl isese. They hve onfirme the roti rtery lifition t the initition of hemoilysis s n inepenent risk ftor for susequent riovsulr events in ptients with ESRD. Turkmen et l. [24] hve investigte the roti IMT n oronry flow veloity reserve in ptients. Normotensive ptients with with well-preserve renl funtion hve signifintly inrese roti IMT n signifintly erese oronry flow veloity reserve ompre with helthy prtiipnts. They hve suggeste tht theroslerosis strts t n erly stge in the ourse of their isese in ptients. Our finings relte to the IMT in ptients re in orne with those finings. Conlusions Overll, oring to our finings,,, n inrese the IMT, PSV, EDV, RI, n PI vlues of CCA; however, they use no meningful inrese in the IMT, PSV, EDV, RI, n PI vlues of ICA. There is no onsierle ifferene mong the effets of,, n on the IMT, PSV, EDV, RI, n PI vlues. Of CKD ptients uring the first ignosti workup n t the regulr follow-ups, the mesurement of roti IMT n Doppler inies my provie vlule t helpful for etermining suess of the linil mngement. Future stuies inluing roti rtery imging with olor Doppler ultrsoun in higher numer of, n ptients re neessry to etermine the impt of risk ftors, espeilly relte to the type of ilysis, on therosleroti riovsulr isese n to reue these risk ftor s strtegy for preventing riovsulr isese in, n ptients.
